Dedicated to preserving and teaching the 72 Melakarta Carnatic scales, Hindustani Thaats, Swara theory, and classical vocal & instrumental music at MMR Enclave, Mathikere, Bengaluru.
Music has been the heartbeat of our family since 1995, but our true foundation was built long before that. We grew up immersed in the soulful sounds of the harmonium and tabla, listening to our father perform countless bhajans and devotional songs. Experiencing his breathtaking live performances in our temple from the time we were born made music a natural part of who we are.
This profound family heritage inspired us to create Mukunda Music Raga. Driven by our father's legacy, our lifelong mission is to share the joy of music with the world, bring people together, and foster a deep sense of community.
